O Almighty Master, Lord our God, Who didst choose Thy beloved Disciples and
Apostles for the preaching of salvation to the whole world, and didst give them
power to loose sins: accept their intercessions for the human race, which Thou
wilt judge with them: for we, unworthy though we be, make bold to ask them to
make entreaty for us, as Thy friends, and most honourable in our sight; for much
availeth the prayer of the righteous for our souls' salvation.

Ye holy Chief Apostles, Peter and Paul, Evangelists of Christ John the
Theologian and Matthew, Andrew the First-Called [Disciple] who implanted the
Cross as a blessing in Russia; ye holy Apostles James the Brother of the Lord,
with the other James; Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Simon, Judah and Matthias!

All ye holy Apostles, chosen of God, ye that were especially pleasing unto
Christ, who rooted out godlessness and planted the True Faith, help us by your
powerful intercession before the Lord, that we may be delivered from every evil
and wile of the enemy; that we may be firm in keeping the Orthodox Faith
committed unto you, in which [Faith], by your prayers, we be not lessened through
wounds, nor curses, nor widespread mortality, nor by any wrath separated from our
Creator; but living a peaceful life here, may be found worthy to see the good
things in the

Land of the Living, glorifying the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
now and ever, and unto ages of ages.

This is the prayer for June 30 OS, the Synaxis of the Apostles, but is also
appropriate for those Apostles named in it (such as Ss. Philip or Matthew)
